"files in selection" command creates a blank buffer.

[Jeordanis]

Summary

"files in selection" command creates a blank buffer instead of opening the file under cursor.
What actually takes me to the file under cursor is go to definition ('gd').

Reproduction Steps

I tried this:

1. hx
2. Open a c++ project
3. Out the cursor over a included file
4. Hit gf

I expected this to happen:
Open the file under the cursor.
Instead, this happened:
Open a new buffer with the name of the file under the cursor.

This is expected behavior. gf is intended for opening a file at the highlighted path. C++ includes can be resolved to a host of different paths, all of which helix doesn't know about so this has to be a LSP command (gd handles this). There is some LSP based capabilities to open paths, that feature is tracked in #1472

[Jeordanis]

By "highlighted path" do you mean the current directory/directory where I opened Helix?
